1 Purpose, Explanation, and Application

1.1 Purpose

The purpose of the General Services Administration (GSA) UNIFORM RULES TARIFF No. 200

(GSA No. 200) is to articulate the transportation service needs of the Federal government

agencies authorized to use rates filed in response the GSA Standard Tender of Service (STOS), the

General Request for Offers (RFO), and agency specific requests of offers, for the movement of

freight traffic and to assist in GSA's effort in implementing the standardization necessary to

achieve a fully automated system for rating and routing Government freight shipments.

1.2 Application

Where reference is made to the GSA UNIFORM RULES TARIFF No. 200 (GSA No. 200) in a

TSP's tender or rate agreement, the rules and accessorial charges contained in this publication

will govern the freight services of the TSP's tender, and will apply from, to, or between those

points which are specified in the individual tender. This is not in any way to be construed as a

setting of rates, rules or charges by GSA.

TRANSPORTATION SERVICE PROVIDERS' TENDERS CANNOT BE MADE SUBJECT TO ANY OTHER

PUBLICATION FOR APPLICATION OF THE RATES OR CHARGES. If any TSP or bureau published

linehaul, rules or terminal services tariff is shown in a tender, the tender will be rejected and

returned to the TSP. The GSA No. 200 can be specifically incorporated in its entirety or in

section(s) in Federal Acquisition Regulation contracts or agreements.

ITEM 350 DETENTION - VEHICLES WITHOUT POWER UNITS – SPOTTING OR

DROPPING TRAILERS


This Item applies when the TSP's vehicles without power units are delayed or detained on the

premises of the consignor, consignee, or on other premises designated by them, or as close

thereto as conditions will permit, subject to the following provisions:

Note 1: This Item will not apply whenever a mutual agreement has been

made between the TSP and shipper whereby empty vehicles are spotted at

shippers' facilities for the purpose of maintaining "TRAILER POOLS."


May 06, 2014

38

Note 2: For the purposes of this item the terms "SPOTTING" and

"DROPPING" are considered to be synonymous and are used interchangeably,

and is defined as follows:

"SPOTTING" means the placing of a trailer at a specific site designated by the

consignor, consignee, or other party designated by them, detaching the trailer,

and leaving the trailer in full possession of consignor, consignee or other

designated party unattended by TSP's employee and unaccompanied by power

unit. The TSP will not move the trailer until such time as it has received

notification pursuant to paragraph 1 below that the trailer is ready for pickup at

any site on premises.

The consignor, consignee, or other designated party may shift the spotted trailer with its own

power units at its own expense and risk for the purpose of loading or unloading. Empty trailers

placed at the premises of consignor without specific request are not spotted until the TSP

receives a consignor's request and places a trailer for spotting. The movement of the trailer

from the consignor's premises to the specific site for spotting will be the obligation of the TSP,

and free time will accrue as provided in paragraph 1 below.

Except as otherwise provided, when, due to no disability, fault or negligence on the part of the

TSP, the loading or unloading of freight at or on the premises of consignor or consignee, or at a

place designated by consignor or consignee for the receipt or delivery of freight is delayed, the

following rules will govern:

1) COMMENCEMENT OF SPOTTING AND FREE TIME:

a) Spotted trailers will be allowed 24 consecutive hours of free time for loading or

unloading.

b) For trailers spotted for unloading, such time will commence at the time of

placement of the trailer at the site designated by the consignee, or other party

designated by the consignee. For trailers spotted for loading, such time will commence

when the trailer is spotted at the site specifically designated by the consignor or a party

designated by the consignor.

c) When any portion of the 24-hour free time extends into a Saturday, Sunday, or

legal holiday (as stated in ITEM 30), the computation of time for such portion will

resume at 12:01 a.m. on the next day which is neither a Saturday, Sunday, or legal

holiday.


May 06, 2014

39

d) Free time will not begin on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday (as stated in Item

30), but at 7 a.m. on the next day which is neither a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.

e) When a trailer is both unloaded and reloaded, each transaction will be treated

independently of the other, except that when unloading is completed, free time for

loading will not begin until free time for unloading has elapsed.

2) TERMINATION OF SPOTTING AND NOTIFICATION:

a) The consignor, consignee, or other party designated by them will notify the TSP

when loading or unloading has been completed and the trailer is available for pickup.

The trailer will be deemed to be spotted and detention charges will accrue until such

time as the TSP receives notification. Notification by telephone if convenient and

practical, otherwise by e-mail, will be given by the consignor, consignee, or other party

designated by them at their own expense, to the TSP or other party designated by the

TSP for the purpose of advising such TSP or other party that the spotted trailer has been

loaded or unloaded and is ready for pickup. If notification is by telephone, TSP may

require written confirmation.

b) When a spotted trailer is changed to a vehicle with power at the request of the

consignor, consignee, or other party designated by them, the free time and detention

charges will be applied as follows:

i) If the change is requested and made before the expiration of free time

for a spotted trailer, free time will cease immediately at the time the request is

made, and detention charges for the vehicles with power will immediately

commence with no further free time allowed.

ii) If the change is requested and made after the expiration of free time for

DATE SIGNATURE TITLE "

B. The Signature and Tally Record, is provided by the shipper, will be used as follows:

(1) When STR is requested by the shipper and the signature and tally record is

furnished, TSP or his agent will require each person responsible for the shipment, such

as the terminal manager, pickup, delivery and road drivers, and dock foreman, to

personally sign the signature and tally record and will secure signature in the space

record.

ITEM 1175 TRANSFER OF LADING

(1) For shipments weighing 10,000 pounds (4,536 kg) or more that cannot be picked up

with the vehicle to be used in transporting the shipment over the highway, and the TSP is

required to render pickup service with a different vehicle, such shipments will be subject to the

charges in paragraph (4) below in addition to all other applicable charges. These charges will be

collected from the consignor. If the shipment moved on a GBL or a commercial bill of lading

converted to a GBL, charges will be collected from the U.S. Government.

(2) When shipments weighing 10,000 pounds (4,536 kg) or more cannot be delivered with

the vehicle used in transporting the shipment over the highway, the TSP will notify the


May 06, 2014

76

consignee of this fact in the manner provided in ITEM 125 ARRIVAL NOTICE AND UNDELIVERED

FREIGHT. If the consignee requests the TSP to render delivery service with a different vehicle,

such shipments will be subject to the charges in paragraph (4) below, in addition to redelivery

charges when performed, and all other applicable charges. Unless the bill of lading is specifically

endorsed to show prepayment of these charges, they will be collected from the consignee. If

the shipment moved on a GBL or a commercial bill of lading converted to a GBL, charges will be

collected from the U.S. Government.

(3) When consignor or consignee requests that shipments weighing 10,000 pounds (4,536

kg) or more be picked up or delivered on a vehicle other than the vehicle used in transporting

the shipment over the highway, the charges in paragraph (4) below will apply. Unless the bill of

lading is specifically endorsed to show prepayment of these charges, they will be collected from

the party requesting the service. If the shipment moved on a GBL or a commercial bill of lading

converted to a GBL, charges will be collected from the U.S. Government.

(4) The charge for the weight of the lading will be $1.32 per 100 pounds (45.36 kg), subject

77

(2) These charges will not apply when a vehicle or shipper requested doubles trailer is

rejected by the shipper under ITEM MC 010 (NEW) or when notice of cancellation is received by

the TSP prior to actual dispatch of the vehicle or shipper requested doubles trailer from the

point of dispatch or the TSPs nearest terminal, whichever is closer.

(3) When the TSP submits a claim for collection of charges under this ITEM the claim will be

supported by a written statement from the ordering activity certifying that the vehicle or

shipper requested doubles trailer was ordered and not used.

(4) When the pickup TSP is inbound with a loaded vehicle or shipper requested doubles

trailer, which is scheduled for outbound loading from the same location, and the shipper

cancels the loading of the vehicle or shipper requested doubles trailer, no charge will be

assessed under this ITEM.

ITEM 1030 SERVICES - CONSTANT SURVEILLANCE SERVICE

(See Note 1)

Constant Surveillance Service (CSS) will be provided by the TSP upon request of the shipper,

subject to the following definition, requirements and charges:

1. DEFINITION AND REQUIREMENTS.

CSS IS A SERVICE THAT PROVIDES THE FOLLOWING:

A. Continuous responsibility for constant surveillance and custody of shipments in transit.

Such attendance and surveillance will prevent all inspections (except those performed by

Governmental enforcement agencies in their line of duty), tampering, pilfering, or sabotage,

including, insofar as humanly possible, all manner of unusual circumstances, such as wreck,

delay, flood, or violent disturbance. (For applicability see ITEM 60 SPECIALIZED SERVICES.)

B. For the purposes of CSS, unless otherwise stated, when not being driven, equipment

must be attended at all times by a qualified representative of the TSP. Equipment is "attended"

when the person responsible for the shipment is in the equipment, awake, not in a sleeper

berth or is within 100 feet (30.48 meters) of the equipment and has the equipment within

constant and unobstructed view. A qualified representative is a person employed by the TSP or

the terminal involved in handling of shipments and who is designated by the TSP/terminal to

attend the equipment, and who is aware of the sensitivity of material moving under CSS, and

who is knowledgeable of the safety, security and emergency procedures that must be followed,

and is authorized and has the means and capability to move the equipment.


May 06, 2014

78

C. For brief stops en route, the TSP will ensure that the equipment or shipment is

attended.

D. When circumstances require lengthy stops en route, TSPs will ensure that the

equipment is parked only at a TSP terminal, a state or local approved safe haven as defined in

Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR). When equipment is parked in a TSP

terminal or at an approved state or local safe haven, a qualified TSP or terminal representative

must keep the shipment in full view and stay within 100 feet (30.48 meters) of the equipment

or shipment at all times, or the shipment must be secured in an adequately lighted area that is

surrounded by at least a 6 foot (1.83 meters) chain link fence and is continuously patrolled by a

representative of the TSP or terminal and is under the general observation of a qualified TSP or

terminal representative at all times. As an alternative, a shipment may be placed in a security

cage. (See Note 1)

E. The trailer or conveyance containing the material upon which CSS is requested must

always be connected with a power unit (tractor) during shipment except when stopped at an

activity for loading or unloading; at a TSP terminal for servicing; at a TSP-designated point

where the driver maintains continuous surveillance over the shipment while disconnected; at a

state or local safe haven location which meets the terminal security standards of paragraph

1(D); or, in emergencies, at a safe haven or refuge location.

F. The TSP must be able to trace a shipment in less than 24 hours.

G. The TSP or his agent will notify the consignee by telephone if shipment cannot reach

consignee within 24 hours of the agreed upon desired delivery date.

H. Driver ID requirements. The TSP must insure drivers employed to handle sensitive

shipments requiring CSS carry a valid driver's license and a medical qualification card, employee

record card or similar documents, one of which must contain the driver's photograph. From the

documents provided, shippers must be able to verify the driver's affiliation with the origin TSP

named on the bill of lading.

I. Single linehaul preferred.

J. No trip lease.

K. The maintenance of a Signature and Tally Record by the TSP is an integral part of CSS.

Both the shipper and the TSP will comply with the requirements of SIGNATURE AND TALLY

RECORD SERVICE on all shipments for which CSS is requested and provided.


May 06, 2014

79

L. The driver(s) moving shipments on which CSS is requested, will be instructed by the TSP

on how to obtain safe haven/refuge, state and local law enforcement assistance, and actions to

take to comply with the requirements listed in paragraph 1 A through 1 K above.

M. The tractor moving a CSS shipment must be equipped with a working mobile

communications unit, such as a citizens band (CB) radio unit or a mobile telephone unit,

capable of contacting state/local law enforcement personnel for the purpose of seeking

assistance, and both drivers must be capable of using the unit to make the contact.

2. ANNOTATION:

When CSS is required for a shipment, the shipper will notify the TSP in advance of the

requirement, and annotate on the bill of lading:

"CONSTANT SURVEILLANCE SERVICE REQUESTED.

SIGNATURE AND TALLY RECORD FURNISHED TO TSP."

3. CHARGES:

In addition to all rates and charges for transportation, shipments for which CSS is provided by

the TSP at shipper's request will be subject to a charge of 35 cents-per-mile (cents -per-1.6093

km) which includes constant and specific surveillance, and the maintenance of a signature and

tally record.

On shipments moving in excess of 500 miles (804.65 km), an additional charge of 05 cents-per-

mile (cents -per-1.6093 km) for each 500 miles (804.65 km) increment will apply, except when

the shipper requests an extra driver under ITEM 1035 SERVICES - DUAL DRIVER SERVICE.

4. BASIS FOR DETERMINING APPLICABLE DISTANCE:

Unless otherwise specifically authorized or such as provided for in ITEM 69 CIRCUITOUS

ROUTING OF HAZARDOUS MATERIAL SHIPMENTS, the applicable distance will be predicated on

the shortest route distance determined by the applicable version of ALK Technologies PC*Miler.

NOTE 1: SECURITY CAGE STANDARDS:

GENERAL: Security cages will be fabricated from commercial steel grating panels.

Walls, doors, floors and ceiling must provide protection equivalent to the steel

grating to preclude forced entry. Doors must have approved padlocks

(equivalent to American 200 series) and hasp systems and connecting hardware

must be welded or otherwise secured to deter unauthorized entry.


May 06, 2014

80

WALLS: Constructed of structural steel angle and expanded steel grating.

Building walls also may be used which provide equivalent security to form

side(s). (Examples: Double-course reinforced or filled concrete block.)

FLOORS: Made of asphalt or reinforced concrete or wood if reinforced with steel

floor plating.

CEILING: Same material as wall or floor.

Minimum height - 8 feet (2.44 m)

Hinges - welded hinge pins

Locks - security locks and hasps equivalent to American 200 series.

CONNECTING DEVICES: Welded, peened, or otherwise installed so as to

deter unauthorized entry.

WINDOWS/OPENINGS: Expanded steel grating, anchored in the metal

frame, secured in same manner as door.

ALTERNATIVE: As an alternative to a security cage, a cargo container,

dromedary, or similar heavy container which is sealed and locked with an

approved lock (equivalent to American 200 series) may be used in buildings

which are locked, guarded, or alarmed. In lieu of locking the containers, they

may be placed with doors against each other or against a substantive building

wall.

ITEM 1035 SERVICES - DUAL DRIVER PROTECTIVE SERVICE

(See Note 1 to ITEM 155 above)

Dual Driver Protective Service (DDPS) will be provided by the TSP upon request of the shipper,

subject to the following definition, requirements and charges:

1. DEFINITION AND REQUIREMENTS. DDPS is a service that provides the following:

A. Continuous responsibility, attendance and surveillance of shipment through the use of

two (dual) qualified drivers and includes the maintenance of a Signature and Tally Record. Such

attendance and surveillance will prevent all inspections (except those performed by

governmental enforcement agencies in their line of duty), tampering, pilfering, or sabotage,


May 06, 2014

81

including, insofar as humanly possible, all manner of unusual circumstances, such as wreck,

delay, flood, or violent disturbances. (For applicability see ITEM 60 SPECIALIZED SERVICES.)

B. For the purposes of DDPS, unless otherwise stated, when not being driven, equipment

must be attended at all times by a qualified representative of the TSP. Equipment is "attended"

when the person responsible for the shipment is in the equipment, awake, not in a sleeper

berth or is within 3.05 meters (10 feet) of the equipment and has the equipment within

constant and unobstructed view. A qualified representative is a person employed by the TSP or

the terminal involved in handling of shipments and who is designated by the TSP/terminal to

attend the equipment, and who is aware of the sensitivity of material moving under DDPS, and

who is knowledgeable of the safety, security and emergency procedures that must be followed,

and is authorized and has the means and capability to move the equipment.

C. For brief stops en route, the TSP will ensure that the equipment or shipment is

attended.

D. When circumstances require lengthy stops en route, TSPs will ensure that the

equipment is parked only at a TSP terminal, a state or local approved safe haven as defined in

Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations, (49 CFR). When equipment is parked in a TSP

terminal or at an approved state or local safe haven, a qualified TSP or terminal representative

must keep the shipment in view and stay within 10 feet (3.05 m) of the equipment or shipment

at all times, or the shipment must be secured in an adequately lighted area that is surrounded

by a least a 6 foot (1.83 m) chain link fence and is continuously patrolled by a representative of

the TSP or terminal and is under the general observation of a qualified TSP or terminal

representative at all times. As an alternative, a shipment may be placed in a security cage. (See

Note 1 in ITEM 1030 above)

E. The maintenance of a Signature and Tally Record by the TSP is an integral part of DDPS.

Both the shipper and the TSP will comply with the requirements of SIGNATURE AND TALLY

RECORD SERVICE on all shipments for which DDPS is requested and provided. (NOTE: Both

drivers are required to sign the Signature and Tally Record when they assume initial

responsibility for the shipment.)

F. Single linehaul.

G. No trip lease authorized.

H. The equipment conveying the shipment upon which DDPS is requested must remain

connected with the power unit (tractor) during shipment except when stopped at a

82

point where the driver(s) maintain continuous attendance and surveillance over the shipment

while disconnected; at a state or local safe haven location which meets the terminal security

standards of paragraph D of this ITEM; or, in emergencies, at a safe haven or refuge location.

I. Driver ID requirements. The TSP must insure drivers employed to handle sensitive

shipments requiring DDPS carry a valid driver's license and a medical qualification card,

employee record card or similar documents, one of which must contain the driver's

photograph. From the documents provided, shippers must be able to verify the driver's

affiliation with the TSP named on the bill of lading.

J. The tractor moving a DDPS shipment must be equipped with a working mobile

communications unit, such as a citizens band (CB) radio or a mobile telephone unit, capable of

contacting state/local law enforcement personnel for the purpose of seeking assistance, and

7 Fuel Related General Rate Adjustment

ITEM 1300 FUEL RELATED GENERAL RATE ADJUSTMENT

The provisions of subsections A through E of this section govern a Fuel Related General Rate

Adjustment (FRGRA) that Motor Freight Transportation Service Providers (TSPs) participating in this

STOS make to overland linehaul charges.

For through rates that include and overwater movement, bunker adjustment factors are

determined independently by each shipping line. Bunker adjustment factors must be

documented on the ocean bill of lading and invoiced as a separate line item.

General: The FRGRA provides a TSP flexibility to obtain reasonable relief from sudden and

unforeseen increases in diesel fuel prices. Since fuel-related rate adjustments for gradual

changes in a TSP’s fuel related costs over a longer period of time are beyond the purpose of this

provision, a TSP should consider gradual fuel price changes when it submits or supplements its

STOS rates during a rate filing open window if such changes significantly affect the TSP’s

operating costs.

Application: The FRGRA is applicable to all GSA negotiated/accepted rate offers as well as rate

offers negotiated/accepted by a Federal agency that participates in the STOS. The FRGRA may

be waived or altered only by the Freight Transportation Program Management Office or appropriate

Federal agency that negotiated/accepted the rate offer.

A. Setting Baseline. Diesel fuel price ranges and corresponding applicable percent rate

adjustment levels were collaboratively established with the motor TSP industry as of November

2000. The levels specified in this section reflect current standard industry practice and will be

reviewed and revised on an as-needed basis.

B. Determination of Adjustment. Each Monday, or first working day thereafter if the Monday

falls on a Federal Holiday (after referred to as “Monday”), the Department of Energy, Energy

Information Administration (EIA), posts the National U.S. Average diesel fuel price. If a FRGRA is

justified under subsection D of this section based on each Monday’s posting, the FRGRA applies

to shipments picked up the ensuing Wednesday through the following Tuesday (Note: shipment

pickup date is controlling for FRGRA purposes). A TSP is responsible for monitoring diesel fuel

prices each Monday using one of the sources identified below to determine whether a FRGRA

will apply for the one-week period beginning the upcoming Wednesday through Tuesday of the

following week.

EIA Website: http://www.eia.doe.gov/


May 06, 2014

88

EIA Weekly Petroleum Status Report

EIA Hotline: (202) 586-6966

B. Amount of Adjustment. If on any given Monday National U.S. Average diesel fuel prices, as

published in one of the sources identified in subsection D1, exceed or fall below the neutral

range specified in the table under subsection D2c, a TSP will compute its FRGRA under

subsection D2a or b, as appropriate.

If the National U.S. Average diesel fuel prices exceed the neutral range, the TSP may increase its

linehaul charge by the appropriate percentage specified in the table under subsection D2c; or

If the National U.S. Average diesel fuel prices fall below the neutral range, the TSP must decrease its

linehaul charge by the percentage specified in the table under subsection D2c.

C. Schedule: The following table specifies the percentage FRGRA to be applied based on diesel

fuel cost per gallon:

Cost Per Gallon Percent Decrease Percent Increase

NEUTRAL RANGE $1.00 – $1.10 0 0

$1.11 – $1.15 0.5

$1.16 – $1.20 1.0

$1.21 – $1.25 1.5

$1.26 – $1.30 2.0

$1.31 - $1.35 2.5

$1.36 – $1.40 3.0

$1.41 - $1.45 3.5

For each 5 cents per gallon

above $1.45, add 0.5%

D. Billing Procedures. A TSP must clearly show the amount of any diesel fuel rate adjustment,

either an increase or a decrease (discount), as a separate line item on all affected freight bills,

Transportation Service Orders (TSO’s), or bills of lading.
